These Hands

These hands could embrace you
Or cut the cords that bind your limbs
They could reach out and heal her
The way I treated you the other day I didn’t even acknowledge your pain, my friendship in vain, my brother I am sorry, I wish I could be stronger than this
These hands they could hurt, or they could hold you so tight
This mouth it could criticize, or make you feel alright
This heart it could hate, or forgive and let go
These eyes could see potential more than you know
These hands could protect you, or raise a child in righteousness, reach out and find you
The moments come, the moments go, to speak a word in season of truth, affirmation, of life information
My brother I am sorry, I wish I could be stronger than this
These hands they could hurt, or they could hold you so tight
This mouth it could criticize, or make you feel alright
This heart it could hate, or forgive and let go
These eyes could see potential more than you know
Sticks and stones, they may break my bones but the wound of a word, it could last a lot longer
Oh, how I wish, I could be stronger than this
And it's not ok, for me to break your heart, for the wound of a word, it could last a lot longer
Oh, how I wish, you could be stronger than this
These hands they could hurt, or they could hold you so tight
This mouth it could criticize, or make you feel alright
This heart it could hate, or forgive and let go
These eyes could see potential more than you know
